This book was released on 2018-01-14 with total page 62 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Heinrich von Kleist und die Kantische Philosophie Schwierigkeiten. Wie aber, wenn sich ein anderes-werk, als die Kritik der reinen Vernunft namhaft machen ließe, aus wel chem Kleist seine neue Ansicht vom Wesen des transzenden talen Idealismus geschöpft haben könnte, und aus dem auch die neue Stellungnahme, die er jetzt zu ihm einnimmt, unmittelbar verständlich würde? Kleist spricht in seinem Bericht an Wil helmine von "der neueren sogenannten Kantischen Philo sophie, mit der er seit kurzem bekannt geworden sei. Ein Ausdruck, der gewiß auffallen muß, denn von Kant und seiner Lehre wußte damals in Deutschland wie ein oft zitierter Vers besagt "jedes Kind oder glaubte davon etwas zu wissen. Was bedeutete also diese merkwürdige Umschreibung? Man wurde sie sofort verstehen, wenn das Werk, auf das Kleist sich hier bezieht. Sich selbst zwar als getreuen Aus druck der Kantischen Lehre bezeichnete und ausgab wenn aber die Frage, ob dieser Anspruch zu Recht bestand, noch unentschieden und strittig. War. Nun war im Jahre 1800 kaum ein Jahr vor dem Briefe Kleists an Wilhelmine eine Schrift erschienen, die schon in ihrer Vorrede aussprach, daß sie all das, was außerhalb der Schule von der neueren Philosophie brauchbar sei. Vollständig darstellen wolle vorgetragen in derjenigen Ordnung, in der es sich dem kunstlosen Nachdenken entwickeln müßte. "die tieferen Zuriistungen, welche gegen Einwürfe und Ausschweifungen des verkünstelten Verstandes gemacht werden, das, was nur Grundlage für andere positive Wissenschaften ist. Endlich, was bloß für die Pädagogik in weitestem Sinne. D. H.

Wie sehr ihn schon die Ankündigung eines derartigen Zieles ergreifen mußte. Und daß sein Interesse auf. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book Symbol  Myth  and Culture

Download or read book Symbol Myth and Culture written by Ernst Cassirer and published by . This book was released on 1979 with total page 304 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The papers in this volume of Ernst Cassirer's unpublished works give insight into the major issues that engaged Cassirer's interest between 1935 and 1945. The book begins with his inaugural address at the University of Göteborg, Sweden, in the first years of his exile from Hitler's Germany, and ends with a talk to the Columbia Philosophy Club. The note that introduces this piece was written on the day of his death. In his long and productive career, Ernst Cassirer always tried to integrate his works of original philosophy and studies in intellectual history into a general understanding of the nature of myth, culture, and symbol. These essays show that his interest persisted to the end. His piece on Judaism and political myths is perhaps the most dramatic in this collection, as it blends philosophical coolness with his deeply felt outrage at fascism. Best known in this country for The Myth of the State, The Philosophy of Symbolic Forms, and An Essay on Man, Ernst Cassirer has been read and studied by generations of students. In this book they will find illuminations, in a more informal voice, of the major themes in Cassirer's work. New readers will be introduced to the great issues that occupied the interest of one of the twentieth century's most widely read philosophers. "A genuine contribution to the history of modern philosophy - and of special value to the informed general reader, since it includes a number of valid attempts by Cassirer to translate his radical, sometimes difficult, concepts of culture into non-technical terms." -- The Booklist

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book explores the poetic articulations of a shift from a transcendent to an immanent worldview, as reflected in the manner of evaluation of body and soul in Goethe’s Faust and Ḥāfiẓ’ Divan. Focusing on two lifeworks that illustrate their authors’ respective intellectual histories, this cross-genre study goes beyond the textual confines of the two poets’ Divans to compare important building blocks of their intellectual worlds.

Download or read book Approaches to Organic Form written by F.R. Burwick and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2012-12-06 with total page 304 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Frederick Burwick's modest but comprehensive and insightful intro duction is preface enough to these sensible essays in the history and philosophical criticism of ideas. If we want to understand how some in quiring and intelligent thinkers sought to go beyond mechanism and vitalism, we will find Burwick's labors of assembling others and reflect ing on his own part to be as stimulating as anywhere to be found. And yet his initial cautious remark is right: 'approaches', not 'attainments'. The problems associated with clarifying 'matter' and 'form' are still beyond any consensus as to their solution. Even more do we recognize the many forms and meanings of 'form', and this is so even for 'organic form'. That wise scientist-philosopher-engineer Lancelot Law Whyte struggled in a place neighboring to Burwick's, and his essay of thirty years ago might be a scientist's preface to Burwick and his colleagues: see Whyte'S Accent on Form (N. Y., Harper, 1954) and his Symposium of 1951 Aspects of Form (London, Percy Lund Humphries 1951; and Indiana University Press 1961), itself arranged in honor of D' Arcy Thompson's classical monograph On Growth and Form. Philosophy and history of science must deal with these issues, and with the mixture of hard-headedness and imagination that they de mand.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This remarkably comprehensive Handbook provides a multifaceted yet carefully crafted investigation into the work of Immanuel Kant, one of the greatest philosophers the world has ever seen. With original contributions from leading international scholars in the field, this authoritative volume first sets Kant’s work in its biographical and historical context. It then proceeds to explain and evaluate his revolutionary work in metaphysics and epistemology, logic, ethics, aesthetics, philosophy of science, philosophy of religion, political philosophy, philosophy of history, philosophy of education, and anthropology. Key Features: • Draws attention to the foundations of Kant’s varied philosophical insights — transcendental idealism, logic, and the bridge between theoretical and practical reason • Considers hitherto neglected topics such as sexuality and the philosophy of education • Explores the immense impact of his ground-breaking work on subsequent intellectual movements Serving as a touchstone for meaningful discussion about Kant’s philosophical and historical importance, this definitive Handbook is essential reading for Kant scholars who want to keep abreast of the field and for advanced students wishing to explore the frontiers of the subject.

Book In Quest of the Ordinary

Download or read book In Quest of the Ordinary written by Stanley Cavell and published by University of Chicago Press. This book was released on 1994-11 with total page 214 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: These lectures by one of the most influential and original philosophers of the twentieth century constitute a sustained argument for the philosophical basis of romanticism, particularly in its American rendering. Through his examination of such authors as Emerson, Thoreau, Poe, Wordsworth, and Coleridge, Stanley Cavell shows that romanticism and American transcendentalism represent a serious philosophical response to the challenge of skepticism that underlies the writings of Wittgenstein and Austin on ordinary language.

Book Cities of Words

    Book Details:
  • Author : Stanley Cavell
  • Publisher : Harvard University Press
  • Release : 2005-10-31
  • ISBN : 9780674018181
  • Pages : 484 pages

Download or read book Cities of Words written by Stanley Cavell and published by Harvard University Press. This book was released on 2005-10-31 with total page 484 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Since Socrates and his circle first tried to frame the Just City in words, discussion of a perfect communal life--a life of justice, reflection, and mutual respect--has had to come to terms with the distance between that idea and reality. Measuring this distance step by practical step is the philosophical project that Stanley Cavell has pursued on his exploratory path. Situated at the intersection of two of his longstanding interests--Emersonian philosophy and the Hollywood comedy of remarriage--Cavell's new work marks a significant advance in this project. The book--which presents a course of lectures Cavell presented several times toward the end of his teaching career at Harvard--links masterpieces of moral philosophy and classic Hollywood comedies to fashion a new way of looking at our lives and learning to live with ourselves. This book offers philosophy in the key of life. Beginning with a rereading of Emerson's "Self-Reliance," Cavell traces the idea of perfectionism through works by Plato, Aristotle, Locke, Kant, Mill, Nietzsche, and Rawls, and by such artists as Henry James, George Bernard Shaw, and Shakespeare. Cities of Words shows that this ever-evolving idea, brought to dramatic life in movies such as It Happened One Night, The Awful Truth, The Philadelphia Story, and The Lady Eve, has the power to reorient the perception of Western philosophy.

Book Conditions Handsome and Unhandsome

Download or read book Conditions Handsome and Unhandsome written by Stanley Cavell and published by University of Chicago Press. This book was released on 2018-01-11 with total page 208 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In these three lectures, Cavell situates Emerson at an intersection of three crossroads: a place where both philosophy and literature pass; where the two traditions of English and German philosophy shun one another; where the cultures of America and Europe unsettle one another. "Cavell's 'readings' of Wittgenstein and Heidegger and Emerson and other thinkers surely deepen our understanding of them, but they do much more: they offer a vision of what life can be and what culture can mean. . . . These profound lectures are a wonderful place to make [Cavell's] acquaintance."—Hilary Putnam

Book This New Yet Unapproachable America

Download or read book This New Yet Unapproachable America written by Stanley Cavell and published by University of Chicago Press. This book was released on 2013-07-15 with total page 137 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Stanley Cavell is a titan of the academic world; his work in aesthetics and philosophy has shaped both fields in the United States over the past forty years. In this brief yet enlightening collection of lectures, Cavell investigates the work of two of his most tried-and-true subjects: Emerson and Wittgenstein. Beginning with an introductory essay that places his own work in a philosophical and historical context, Cavell guides his reader through his thought process when composing and editing his lectures while making larger claims about the influence of institutions on philosophers, and the idea of progress within the discipline of philosophy. In “Declining Decline,” Cavell explains how language modifies human existence, looking specifically at the culture of Wittgenstein’s writings. He draws on Emerson, Thoreau, and many others to make his case that Wittgenstein can indeed be viewed as a “philosopher of culture.” In his final lecture, “Finding as Founding,” Cavell writes in response to Emerson’s “Experience,” and explores the tension between the philosopher and language—that he or she must embrace language as his or her “form of life,” while at the same time surpassing its restrictions. He compares finding new ideas to discovering a previously unknown land in an essay that unabashedly celebrates the power and joy of philosophical thought.
